Hi,
There are a few ways of doing this. Perhaps the easiest is scraping the
cells off while it is still in the media. Transfer it to a centrifuge tube and
spin it down. Pour off the supernatant add formalism vortex it and centrifuge
it again and pour off the supernatant again and add Histogel or agar. Then
process as usual. This is about as close as you are going to get to treating it
like normal tissue.

Has anyone tried to embed cells grown in tissue culture? I am trying to put
some tissue culture cells through same stress as tissue would go through.
Fixation, dehydration, and heat. Any ideas? I could re-suspend in OCT and then
fix for extended time with NBF but that doesn't quite seem fair.
Thanks for any ideas!
